Reflexiones en torno de la gramática de Andrés Bello y su vigencia referencial con otros modelos gramaticales

Abstract

The following reflections have the purpose of evaluating the relevance of the epistemological foundations that characterize Andrés Bello's Grammar of the Spanish language, by comparing it with other later grammars, such as functional or generative grammar, analyzing, among other aspects, the norm as a determining element in the social and cultural nature of language, the principles that support the thesis of a general or universal grammar versus grammars as well as sentence dependence and organization as key elements for syntactic analysis. The results of these comparisons allow us to highlight the contributions of this remarkable Venezuelan to contemporary linguistics, exposed, particularly, in the prologue and the notes of his work.
